Mike Leach once called the Big 12 commissioner during a game to gripe about officiating

What’s one way to display your displeasure with shoddy officiating? For former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach, it was easy as picking up the phone and calling then-Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe.

Oh, one thing: Leach made the call – on his cell phone – from the sidelines during the third quarter of the Red Raiders’ 59-43 loss to Texas in 2007. As anyone who has attended a game can attest, it’s pretty amazing that Leach’s phone was able to make outgoing calls.

“I can remember in the third quarter, he’s pulling his cell phone out. He always talked to me between series, so he’s talking to me and he pulls his cell phone out and he called the Big 12 commissioner. He’s like cussing out the Big 12 commissioner, telling him like, ‘These refs are screwing us. You better watch my post-game press conference because I’ve got some stuff to say.'”
